Synopsis

The education of children with multiple disabilities is concerned with improving their quality of life and finding ways to overcome and remove barriers to learning. The law indicates a move towards equal opportunities and inclusive education for all pupils. Those with complex needs have the right to receive appropriate education alongside their peers: to become enlightened, enabled and empowered. Supporting Children with Multiple Disabilities addresses the growing needs of professionals in a variety of educational settings, and provides a practical support framework for children, professionals and parents. This easy-to-read guide aims to bring about good practice, raise achievement and aid the effective inclusion of multiple disabled children.
